Island nucleation in the presence of step edge barriers: Theory and applications
Joachim Krug, Paolo Politi, Thomas Michely
We develop a theory of nucleation on top of two-dimensional islands bordered by steps with an additional energy barrier for descending atoms. The theory is based on the conc…
Crystal symmetry, step-edge diffusion and unstable growth
Paolo Politi, Joachim Krug
We study the effect of crystal symmetry and step-edge diffusion on the surface current governing the evolution of a growing crystal surface. We find there are two possible contribu…
Damping of Growth Oscillations
H. Kallabis, L. Brendel, P. Smilauer +2
Computer simulations and scaling theory are used to investigate the damping of oscillations during epitaxial growth on high-symmetry surfaces. The crossover from smooth to rough gr…
Linear theory of unstable growth on rough surfaces
Joachim Krug, Martin Rost
Unstable homoepitaxy on rough substrates is treated within a linear continuum theory. The time dependence of the surface width is governed by three length scales: The charac…
